    Anyone know where I can source a rebuilt or excellent condition rear axle assembly? I though a while back a vendor was listed but just can't find it through searching the forums. I was looking at getting a new truck, but decided to just upgrade what I have instead. Any help?

    Uhh yeah, that might help.... 2006 with stock e locker. I am west of Boston, looking for an '05-'08 sport lsd. I don't off road much and get crappy traction in the rain.

    FWIW you will need the complete rear diff, can't just swap 3rds (at least without some modification to housing) but Im sure someone would be happy to swap rear diffs with you, might even find someone that will pay you for it.

    I might be able to take your axle off your hands if you find another you want to buy. I have an SR5 so no LSD or eLocker.
